Excel Skills for "Modeling"

I am interviewing tomorrow for a new group within a well respected firm. They are going through the process of requesting funding from Investors as well as the firm itself throughout the summer. In my first round phone interview, he said they need someone with excel skills and PowerPoint skills. PP I'm not worried about, and I think (or thought) I know/knew excel pretty well. However, I've been reading some posts talking a lot about VBA and I really don't know that at all. I do know how to project financial statement, time value of money, financial ratios, DCF, etc, but I am wondering if there is anything in particular I should look over before tomorrow in order to impress this guy. I'm a rising junior so I haven't had any iBanking modeling experience (I landed the IB job and was one of those who were fired before I started by that glorious firm that went bankrupt) and would really like to get another job in finance for the summer. Please help everyone!
